What your workout clothes say about you: personal trainer
Apparently, what you wear to the gym holds a lot of weight.
Texas personal trainer Alexis Metz posts workouts and “gym stuff” for her 10,800 TikTok followers — and she recently developed a series to reveal the kind of person you are based on your workout apparel.
In the first video, which has 90,000 views, Metz claims that if you’re wearing Fabletics leggings, you probably have been working out “for a decent amount of time” and you want to reward yourself with a “solid” pair of leggings.
“You probably had to scrape up just enough money to be able to buy a pair of these, or you just waited until they had a huge sale. You’re looking for practical and affordable, and that’s how you do all of your shopping,” she explained, adding that the person she is describing will never be seen in brand-name or designer clothes.
Metz said these workout fans go to classes every once in a while and love high-intensity interval training, while always staying on the outskirts of the gym — “you will never be found in the middle, where the free-weight section is.”

‘You mean business’

Part 2 features a woman in a matching set, while Metz describes two similar brands, ABYL and NVGTN (Navigation).
“If you’re up in the gym with this fit, you mean business. Period,” Metz declares.
She said the gym is their “me time” and they want to get stronger and have “amazing legs and an amazing butt.”
Metz added that this outfit, with high socks and flat shoes, signifies it was “definitely a squat and deadlift day.”
“Also, you are that girl that makes sure that you hit your protein requirements for the day,” she added. “‘Cause you don’t want all those gains to go to waste.”
‘Just give it up’
Gymshark, another brand of athletic apparel, is the subject of the third video — with Metz writing in the caption that she’s “going to step on some toes with this one.”
“Let’s just say if the movie ‘Mean Girls’ was set in a gym setting, then Regina George would definitely be wearing Gymshark,” she said.
“These girls will not make eye contact with you, even if you’re right next to them, passing them right there. They won’t. Just give it up.”

She said these exercise enthusiasts “want to be fitness influencers really bad, and they want Gymshark to sponsor them, so they are always posting influencer-like photos on Instagram and tagging the brand. These girls are going to keep their personal lives very private, and only their very close friends are going to know them well, and those friends are their ride-or-dies.”
Metz explained that the women who wear Gymshark are “so beautiful” and “have such a nice physique” — and they know it.
“And that can come across as either rude, or they’re just extremely confident, and I guess you just have to get to know the person to, like, figure out what that is,” she added.
‘You’ll never do boot camp’
Part 4 centers around the well-known brand Lululemon.
“Let’s go ahead and address the elephant in the room, because if you are strutting Lululemon, you have money,” Metz starts off. “Which is fine. If you can afford this fit, like, totally go for it.”
She adds that these women “live and breathe” the athleisure look, always have their nails done and have definitely considered buying a Peloton if they don’t already own one.

“You like working out, but you like working out whenever it’s a small group of people,” she said. “For instance, you’ll do a spin class, but [it] has to be a smaller class, or you’ll do a pilates class, and you’re very likely to hire a personal trainer. And for some reason, you’ll never do boot camp.”
Metz said Lululemon lovers go with white chunky shoes or On Clouds.
“Once a Lulu girl, always a Lulu girl. You are dedicated to this brand,” she concludes. “It’s never, ‘Oh, I have Lululemon leggings.’ No, it’s ‘I have Lululemon everything.’”
‘Muscle mommy’
The fifth and most recent episode of the series shows a woman wearing biker shorts, a cropped tank top and a hat.
“If you’re strutting this fit in the gym, your life goal is to be a muscle mommy,” Metz claims.

She said these women will always be in short shorts and never leggings because, “Why would you cover up your quad and hamstring gains?”
“You’ve been lifting for years, and it started off as just something to do because you wanted to get a little more fit, but then you got addicted,” she continued. “The gym is not a social outlet for you, but at the same time, everybody knows you at the gym because you’re there six days a week for multiple hours.”
“The gym is basically another full-time job for you,” she added.
Metz said that these fitness aficionados live by the mantra, “If there’s a will, there’s a way.”
